Pillars of the Wu family

Although the ninjas of the Takeda family tried their best to clarify that this was a false accusation, and countered that the Kira family had concocted the assassination of Ichikui in order to frame the Takeda family, but their defense was weak in the face of overwhelming evidence. A public trial is specially prepared for them.

Through the word of mouth of merchants traveling in Gyeonggi, Hokuriku, and Yuao, the whole Kanto and even the world know the news that Echigo’s execution has always been consistent. 10,000+ people witnessed the terrible burning, and hundreds of people were hanged on the spot. People’s The eyes are discerning, and there will always be fake corpses hanged.

Echigo banned the Ichiko sect for 35 years, and there will be no fakes. Thousands of Ichikoi burned, killed and looted, and there is no fake. The allusion of Fanchang sacrificing his life for the savior to be given a treasured sword has been widely circulated in Kanto. It is absolutely unreasonable to say that the Takeda family has no collusion in it.

Harunobu Takeda, who is far away in Kai, kept a rare silence on all this. The ninja's propaganda battle was not enough for the Kira ninja, and the big movement of assassinating Ikkui could not be hidden from the samurai of various countries. The dead Echigo samurai and civilians were all real. The Takeda family did a poor job in this operation.

After this battle, the members of the Takeda vassals have clearly realized how big the threat to the Kira family is. It does not lie in the siege of many armies, not in the display of strategies and strategies, but in the suppression of the Takeda army by naked force, which was sent by Takeda Harunobu The hopeful Chibei warriors lost more than one hundred and injured more than two hundred as soon as they met each other. It would not be surprising if the entire army was wiped out if it wasn't for the fanfuhuchang running.

What is even more worrying is the blow to morale, especially the confidence of the wealthy Chinese in Beixin and Zhongxin. Many Chinese began to resent the evil and incompetence of the Takeda family.I have never seen the Takeda family so restrained under the superior force.They feel like they're paying for "punishment for being mean."

The Takeda family did evil, and the people of Xinnon were the top tanks.The loss of money and food and the population cost thousands of dollars. It is not surprising that when the people of Zhongxinano found that they could not beat the Kira family, they turned to resent the Takeda family. Takeda Harunobu worked hard for more than ten years to create an invincible image in Shinano. The room suddenly collapsed, and the invisible prestige loss even far exceeded the loss of money, food, population, and death in battle.

"But the family is not ready yet!" In front of nearly a hundred retainers, Takeda Harunobu's eyes gradually turned cold: "Give me another year for the Takeda family, and everything will be returned after one year! Just one year!"

With the safe retreat of Kira's army.As a result, the cloud of war hanging over Shinano dissipated, and the people of Shinano were busy licking their wounds. The festive harvest season became dull, and Kofu canceled all the long-prepared autumn harvest celebrations. Tanggu Hot Spring is on a long-term vacation, and the family members are also invited to share the family happiness.

A few days after the retreat of the Kira Army, Iifu Masake led an army of [-] to return in triumph. This time the attack on Hida was particularly successful. Iifu Masake and the local snake Kiso Yoshiyasu of Nanshinano easily attacked Hida The mountains caught off guard Miki Yoshiyori, Ema Tokimori and other Hida people by surprise.

For nearly 200 years, Hida has been living behind closed doors with its own family.Whether it is the Xiaolu family of Guosi sister in the Southern Dynasties, or the guardian of the Northern Dynasties, Jing Gaoshi, who entered Taoism.And he guarding the Daitaga family will inevitably be assimilated by the local tyrants of Hida. It is not an hour for the Takeda family to break the closed door of Hida for hundreds of years.

The people of Hida country tacitly let go of their differences and hastily organized two thousand troops to unite to try to fight against the invaders. As a result, this mob was defeated by Masakai Itomi as soon as they met each other, and they had to flee to the cages in the city The city sticks.

The Takeda Army, which won the first battle, did not relax its attacking pace. In the next one and a half months, it pressed on step by step, forcing Hirose Sojo and Shioya Akisada to surrender successively with powerful force. Deviating, after Uchijima Jiri, who is known as the No.1 general of Hida, surrendered, Miki Yoshiyori and Ema Tokimori, who were exhausted, had to bow their heads and admit defeat.

Obtaining the great glory suppressed by Hida Ichigoku gave the sluggish Takeda family a shot in the arm. Takeda Harunobu, who cheered up, decided to reward this trusted general. At the simple evaluation meeting held in Yuya Onsen, Takeda Harunobu announced the promotion of Iitomo Masake Serving as a general, commanding [-] cavalry, the territory is in the Chikuma County of Zhongxin Nong. From then on, Iifu Changjing became the hottest celebrity of the Takeda family.

Suppressing Hida's record is very good for boosting the family's decline, but it is not enough to solve the problem of the deepening crisis of Zhongxinano. Takeda Harunobu has been working hard to prepare his so-called "back move". Kita Shinano stayed for a while before returning to Echigo on September [-].

As the partial division of this military operation, the Shinano Reserve Corps, Murakami, Kakizaki and other samurai who were in charge of the support received a total of [-] koku of food rewards, and all members of the Kira Army shared another [-] koku rewards. The disabled level received financial pensions ranging from [-] guanwen to [-] guanwen at one time, and the standard for war dead was [-] guan.

The conditions given by Kira Yoshishi were very good. As long as they were the main force of the Kira Army, they would be subsidized regardless of whether they died in battle or were disabled. According to the degree of disability, they could also arrange to retire on the spot and go to the main farm and ranch run by Kira’s family to serve as envoys. Officials, or arranged to serve as elders in towns and villages on the spot.

This subsidy standard is not entirely measured in money, and warriors don’t need that much money. Generally, it is implemented according to the standard of salary, which is about six cents of grain and four cents of food, unless the warrior or widow receiving the subsidy has special requirements. If you make adjustments and give Yongle all the money, the Kira family will not be able to afford it no matter how rich they are.

When returning to Kasugayama Castle, the battle in Ueno was also coming to an end. The Nagao Legion led by Nagao Jinghu rushed to the front line of Ueno in early July. The Hojo family launched a full-scale military suppression.

Unlike the Shinano invasion, where the Kira family always held the initiative in the war and oppressed the Takeda army at will, the situation in Ueno was much worse than that of Shinano. After the [-] troops led by Hojo Ujiyasu entered Hirai Castle, they were immediately attacked. The resolute resistance of Nagano Yezheng's [-] troops.

The core of Hinogi's all-in-one mind is the sons-in-law of the Nagano family all over Ueno. Nagano Yesho's dozen sons-in-law and several generations of relatives who maintain the relationship form a huge network of relationships.Nagano Karma can be compared to Date Tetsumune, who is one size smaller.They all use marrying daughters to maintain a huge network of relationships to establish dominance.

Therefore, Nagano industry can be based on the premise that Uesugi Constitutional Government does not sit on the border.Pulling 5000 people into the battle in one breath, almost all the main Chinese forces used by Ueno Kuneng were drawn in. It is not easy to have a strong organization and efficient command.

Yasushi Hojo, who sits in Hirai Castle, did not panic at all. With his excellent skills, he quickly calmed down the Ueno people who had taken refuge in Hojo. For example, the Chinese who were the first to throw themselves into their arms, such as Nabo, Akai, and Tomioka, had long since had no way out. You can retreat, how much choice do you have if you hand over your own son to the Hojo family?

Once he is disobedient, Hojo Shiyasu can bribe his family's genealogy retainers to collude to force the family governor to live in seclusion.Supporting his son to be the governor of the house, the play will continue to be sung, but he will not even be able to get a supporting role.

With the support of the leading party from the Ueno Kingdom, Nagano Yezheng's Minowon crowd retreated immediately after a slam, and Nagao Jinghu from the United Stable Bridge City made it clear that the chariots and horses were about to fight fiercely with the intruder Hojo's house. On the other side, Hojo Shi Kang also realized that his [-] troops were inappropriate against the [-] coalition forces of Nagano and Nagao, and hurriedly ordered more troops to the rear.

Many people from the country, including the newly surrendered Shimoso Chiba clan, joined the battle, and within half a month, another [-] troops were raised. Now the Hojo family used [-] to fight against [-], changing from a weak force for military superiority.The Hojo family became more at ease up and down.

In order to add more chips to the Hojo family, Hojo Shiyasu also brought his son-in-law Ashikaga Fujimasa over as a hole card.The two flags of Ashikaga and two flags were hoisted in the Hojo army formation, which corresponded to Uesugi Sasa in Stable Bridge Castle, as if to say that you are concerned with the Tokwan leader, and I am concerned with the Toko, who is afraid of whom.

The two sides stood on their feet and launched various military trials. Military conflicts ranging from thousands of people occurred from time to time. Today, the Nagao Army captured a fortress belonging to the Hojo family, and tomorrow the Hojo family will also capture a fortress belonging to the Ueno people in color. However, the marathon-style confrontation between the two sides has suffered a lot from the people of Ueno.

The closest to Hirai Castle, and the most pressured Kuragano Bizen Morihiro, couldn't hold on to his position. After more than ten days of tenacious resistance, he finally surrendered to the Hojo family at the end of July. Kano's surrender was nothing less than a shocking news. Behind him were Minirun Castle and Stable Bridge Castle. This rebellion completely disrupted Nagao Jinghu's military deployment.

If the Hojo family was allowed to adjust the strategy a little bit, the war would really not be able to continue, so when the Hojo family was attacking the famous city of the island, Nagao Jinghu personally led an army of [-] to the famous city of the island.

The Fuma Ninja of Hojo Shiyasu has been engrossed in monitoring every move of the Nagao family. When there was a change in Stable Bridge Castle, Hojo Shiyasu received the news immediately, resolutely gave up the attack on the famous island city, and turned to the direction of Stable Bridge Castle. The two sides met on the west bank of the Tone River, and at this time the Hojo Army gained an absolute advantage in strength with [-] to [-].

Nagao Jinghu stood under the curtain and looked at the three-scaled flag in the distance. To the east of the Nagao Army's main formation is the swift Tone River, and not far to the west is Tori River, a branch of the Tone River system. In the middle of the delta before it meets the Tone River, the distance between the two rivers is less than half a mile in a straight line. The land here is fertile and rich in products, and it is the most affluent area in Ueno.

Nagano Yezheng also led the army to rush over at this time. When he saw the Nagao army forming an formation on the bank of the Tone River, he wanted to take the initiative to lean over. This was a very natural action. Willing to see this situation, the Hojo Army immediately launched an attack on the Nagano Army, trying to take advantage of its strength to push back the Nagano Army, and then turned around to attack the Nagano Army's strategic purpose.

"Split and encircle and destroy each one! He must have been waiting for this moment!" Nagao Jinghu swept across Echigo's generals with fierce tiger-like eyes, and ordered: "Everyone obey orders! Follow my family to defeat the Hojo Army, for Guan Lingdian takes back Hirai Castle!"

"Yes!"

The Nagao Army attacked without hesitation. With Yasuda Nagahide and Ayukawa Kiyocho as the vanguard, they rushed straight to the flank of the Hojo Army. Gang Jing didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and hastily ordered his subordinates to form a formation to withstand the impact of the long-tailed army.

Under the Hojo family’s system of sending relatives and sending children to match the specific characteristics of each country, the country is divided into several main groups of people, and their names are named after "public". For example, the Edo people in the southern Kanto are forces. The largest group of nationals, the military leader of the Hojo family's genealogy retainer, this leader is also called "first-hand service".

The lord assigned by the Chinese is the lord of the sub-city. During the war, he obeys the order of the leader and recruits soldiers to go out with the army. The retainers assigned by the lord of the Chinese are the powerful family and servants in the local area, and the bottom is specific to horseback riding. Various arms such as samurai, ashigaru, arched ashigaru, and iron cannon ashigaru are senders.

This system of sending relatives and children subdivides the Chinese group into every link. When they go out to fight in peacetime farming and war, they need to pay a certain amount of military training every year. Send relatives and send children a certain tax exemption in exchange for them to follow the battle.

This rigorous system was not created by the Hojo family. Kinai Miyoshi and Kai Takeda also implemented a similar system in Shinano. Imakawa Yoshimoto seems to intend to try this system in Yuanjiang, but can he do it without Taiyuan Xuezhai? The complete implementation of this system is still in doubt.

As the area with the most fertile land and the highest knowledge and practice in southern Kanto, the Edo people are responsible for the military service of more than 1000 people. They are also the largest group of Chinese under the Hojo family. There are only 100 people. As a powerful member of the Hojo family, it is Hojo Ujiyasu's trust and attention to them to bear the heavy burden of resisting the main force of the Nagao Army.

The vanguard of the Nagao Army came from Yangbei. Yasuda Nagahide and Ayukawa Kiyonaga were both able to recruit and fight well. When they realized that the Hojo Army on the opposite side was armed with the banner of the people of the country, they suddenly felt annoyed that they were underestimated. Suddenly, the two noticed that there was a slight flaw in the slowly moving formation of the Edo people, so they tacitly commanded a thousand troops to accelerate and rush.

The first wave came from the ashigaru team holding three guns. Although they could not learn the luxurious weapons and equipment of the Kira family and various special tactics with new weapons, there is still no problem in learning the gun quilt. The Nagao Army All the main armies in the country have been able to master the use of gun covers proficiently. When they were about to join the battle, the Ashgaru team suddenly scattered and hit the Hojo Army's gun formation, which immediately caused a huge repercussions. (To be continued..)
